Lovely day for a dip 🌊

No raging winds. No crashing waves testing our resolve. No chaos. No resistance. Just still water… clear skies…
and that quiet invitation to step in.

Because it isn’t always about the battle.
Sometimes it’s about the willingness to pause… to breathe… to feel…

To stand shoulder to shoulder with other men, in the cold, in the silence, in the moment — and remember what it feels like to be fully alive.

The sea doesn’t always need to challenge us to change us. Sometimes it heals through its calm. Sometimes the growth comes from simply showing up.

Feet on stone. Skin to water. Mind to stillness.

This is where the noise fades. This is where connection grows. This is where we reset.

If you’ve been thinking about joining us…
take this as your sign. Step in.

Perfect evening for our first 100km in 24hr walk challenge training session last night. Setting of from Crooklets at 7pm we did a 10 mile circular route to get our legs and bodies adjusted to long night time walks. Not all of the team could make this one but hoping we get similar conditions for the next one and the whole crew can make it! Feeling grateful for the amazing evening, great company and being able to do get out of bed and attempt this challenge which is starts at at 6pm Friday 19th June, departing Westward Ho, heading down the Tarka Trail and across Dartmoor, finishing at Paignton! If you would like to make a donation please check out the link below. All monies go to Devon Clinic CIC, who offer mental health support to those in need and can’t afford it.

Free Men’s Nutrition Talk

For Aprils WU Club we welcome Sandra Dumas, a health coach and complementary therapist who supports people navigating health issues, stress, pain, and long-term fatigue.

Having personally experienced fibromyalgia and generalised anxiety, Sandra understands what it’s like to feel disconnected from the body and reliant on short-term fixes. Her journey led her to take a more holistic approach to health — focusing on the nervous system, nutrition, stress, and recovery.

In this grounded and practical session, Sandra will share simple, realistic ways nutrition can support mental health, improve energy, and build resilience — without overwhelm or perfection.

This isn’t about strict rules. It’s about understanding your body and making small changes that actually stick.

📍 Location: Berries Community Cafe, Bude, EX23 8QE
🗓 Date: Wednesday 1st April
⏰ Time: 7:00pm – 9:00pm

This is Warriors United Club. A space for men to come together, connect, and walk a path of self-actualisation and personal growth. Light refreshments provided. Expect an open, supportive space, good conversation, and tools you can take away to improve your health and well-being.

After a night of icy sleet showers there was a real bite in the air this morning as we made our way down to the sea pool. The kind of cold that makes your mind question your life choices before you’ve even reached the water, but as always we showed up. Every single one of us. With the tide out the pool had become a wide arena of cold water sitting at a brisk 8.7°C. The moment we stepped in it cut straight to the bone and that familiar voice of comfort whispered “turn around, go back, get warm.” But that’s not why we come. Standing together we focused on the breath, grounding ourselves with the techniques we had just practised moments before. Breath by breath the shock softened, the mind quietened and the body adapted. Then it arrived — that deep sense of peace and stillness. That’s where the magic lives, not just in the water but in life itself, on the other side of discomfort when we face the challenge together and discover we are stronger than the voice telling us to quit.

We recently held our Annual General Meeting at Berries Community Café, celebrating three years of the Bude Wellness Warriors and reflecting on an incredible 12 months of growth, commitment and brotherhood.

The AGM gave members a chance to understand how the group operates, as we reviewed the constitution and safeguarding measures that help ensure everyone gets the most from the community while keeping members safe and supported. Over the past year our warriors recorded an amazing 799 wellness participations, including 407 cold water dips, 197 breathwork sessions, 85 wellness walks and 79 social event appearances. A huge show of discipline and commitment from everyone involved. We also celebrated members who went above and beyond this year celebrating the most Cold Water Dips Award – Sean Brennan (41 dips & 40 breathwork sessions), Wellness Walk Warrior Award – Neil Morfit (9 walks & 60 miles) and the Ultimate Warrior Award – Ian LeGrand (attendance of 90 wellness sessions). Following the meeting, members enjoyed a wellness walk along the canal, out across to Widemouth Bay and back to Rosie’s for lunch, rounding off a brilliant day of connection and reflection.
A massive thank you to everyone who continues to show up — not just for the sessions, but for themselves and each other, helping spread the message of positive wellbeing in our community and beyond.

Infinity pool vibes at the sea pool this morning. Huge waves crashing all around, but inside the pool the water was perfectly calm — like nature gave us our own quiet space for the weekly battle with the cold.

At 8.7°C the water felt sharp. The kind of cold that instantly pulls you into the present and clears the noise from your mind. For a few minutes nothing else matters except your breath and the water around you.

When we step back out, something shifts. The mind is calmer, the body is buzzing, and the day ahead suddenly feels more manageable. Less stress, less reactivity, more focus and energy to move through whatever life throws at us.

Just a group of men, some cold water, and a powerful reset to start the weekend.

💪🌊❄️

Last night’s WU Club was a powerful gathering of men.

We came together to have the open, honest conversations that help us navigate a turbulent world with strength and clarity. Guided by psychotherapist, life coach and yoga teacher Neil Jenkins from Wild Spirit Wellness, we explored visualisation techniques to better understand ourselves and identify real opportunities for growth.

The space we’re building is for men who want to grow, evolve and face whatever life throws at them — not alone, but side by side. The depth, vulnerability and support in the room last night was truly inspiring.

Next month, we go again — joined by nutritionist and life coach Sandra Dumas.

If you’re ready to step forward, this space is here for you.

Calm seas, steady breath, and good men showing up — that’s what Saturday mornings are all about. The sea pool was beautifully still today, making for a proper chilled dip. No drama, no rush… just cold water, clear heads, and that unbeatable feeling afterwards. This is where the magic happens — simple moments that reset the body and mind. If you’ve been thinking about joining us, take this as your sign. You don’t need to be ready — you just need to turn up. We’ll take care of the rest. Proud of every man who keeps showing up week after week. The water’s waiting for the next wave of warriors.

Next week we welcome Neil Jenkins from Wild Spirit Wellness and Grounded Warriors.

An accomplished endurance athlete — completing over 40 triathlons, two Ironman races, and the Marathon des Sables — Neil understands discipline and mental strength at the highest level.

Following a catastrophic injury that ended both his operational career and athletic pursuits, Neil transformed adversity into purpose. Retraining as a Business & Life Coach, Psychotherapist, Yoga and Qi Gong teacher, he has spent the past 10 years successfully supporting individuals across the UK to rebuild confidence, find direction, and unlock their potential. Neil will be taking us on journey sharing his “story” and also providing the tribe with an interactive group coaching session .. exploring various psychological models that will help us better understand ourselves and the world around us 👍🏼

This is Warriors United Club. A space for men to come together, connect, and walk a path of self-actualisation and personal growth. A place where we can drop the “I’m fine, mate” mask, open up about what’s really going on behind the scenes, and discover healthier ways of being that move us toward becoming the strongest, healthiest versions of ourselves.

We meet at Berries Community Café on the first Wednesday of every month at 7pm. Light refreshments are provided, and we welcome all men 18+ who come with an open mind and a willingness to look within and take responsibility for their health and wellbeing.

This is your chance to connect with a supportive group of men who will walk alongside you on your wellness journey. We look forward to seeing you there.

With high tide and a powerful storm surge, the waves were crashing all around us as we stepped into the cold, turbulent waters. This was one of the most challenging dips we’ve endured. But through camaraderie and patience, we waited for the right moment — then moved forward as one. The water temperature was 9.9°C, but with the sea constantly churning around us, the thermal layer was stripped away, allowing the cold to bite deep. It’s moments like this that remind us how alive and unstoppable we really are… and we’ll carry that feeling into whatever life throws our way. 💪🌊
